Top 6 API Security Needs for Serverless Apps
Serverless applications accelerate software delivery but introduce new API security challenges that traditional security tools often miss. This white paper explores the six essential security capabilities organizations need to secure serverless applications, including automated API discovery, Shadow API detection, continuous security testing, and runtime protection across cloud-native environments.
